Your love’s toxic, a

Beautifully disguised trap

Hidden in plain sight

🌹

Your heart is full of

A cruel life-threatening bile

That you use on me

🐍

The darkness in your

Soul rotting as it erodes

With poisonous fangs

🌹

Firmly encircled

Corrupting the innocent

With venomous lies

🐍

Manipulating

Dangerously with hidden

Lethal intentions

🌹

I must say goodbye

Before the death-dealing kiss

It’s time to choose me

About the Creator

Mother Combs

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.
